Grounded is a 52 episode youth magazine series produced by CAAMA Productions and commissioned by National Indigenous Television.
Grounded is a variety show for teenage kids that live in community, bush town, or the city; where real people talk about their lives, share their dreams and show you what they’re made of.
Each week our hosts Natasha and Tyrone, in Alice Springs, take us around the nation to catch up with someone new and find out what gets them going, what they love to do, where they live, what they’ve been up to and what makes them tick.
We showcase some great indigenous music and a rising star or two, performers and young heroes covering dance, music, education, work, art, hanging out, sport and of course, culture!
Grounded shows young indigenous viewers that the sky really is the limit to what you can achieve when you put your mind to it. But to get there, you gotta stay “Grounded”!
Directed by Curtis Marriott and produced by Robyn Nardoo.

Situated south of Derby in the West Kimberley Jarlmadangah is a very unique community and is often hailed as ‘a model community’ for many reasons. One is the enterprising nature of two elders, John and Harry Watson.
In October 2007, the members of Jarlmadangah Community celebrated 25 years of a journey of self determination to fulfilment of a dream. 25 Years of building a strong family community based on ideals many communities around Australia have strived for but it seems very much that a recipe of success is in the hands of this community

Ladies were dancing up in the Milky Way, and the baby fell down from a Coolamon, fell down there, and created that meteorite crater.
An emotive, traditional style Nganampa, about a Western Arrernte story. Auntie Mavis talks about the significance of the place; Googes Bluff, with a woman’s side and a man’s side, and its major significance to the Western Arrernte people. About the morning star, the evening star, the Milky Way and the Universe.
The style is poetic, beautifully filmed, with time-lapse shots of the night sky, helicopter shots, dawn and dusk, overlaid with the traditional song about the falling of the child, and the creation of the place, Googes Bluff.

With a satirical and comedic eye, we explore the fascinating lives of some of these women.
